If One Trip Could Change Your Life…
Would You Take It?
At Global Explorers, we are dedicated to creating moments that challenge students’ perspectives of the world and inspire them to be a part of making it a better place…to become responsible global citizens.
We invite students and educators worldwide to join us on a journey—a journey to ask big questions, to ponder our place in our communities, country, and ultimately the world. We’ll explore the environmental and social circumstances of some of the most beautiful places on Earth as we focus on science, service, culture and leadership. This is no ordinary travel experience! We’ll get our hands dirty; we’ll overcome personal challenges; we’ll learn, grow and laugh along the way, and ultimately, we’ll walk away changed.
What is a Responsible Global Citizen?
A responsible global citizen continually explores the complexity and interconnectedness within our world, emerging as a self-aware servant leader who strives to make the world a more equitable, sustainable place now and for generations to come.
Night Skies Contest
The 2012 Night Skies Contest is an exciting opportunity for four 2012 travelers to win a $1,000 scholarship toward their Global Explorers travel tuition and for one 2011 Global Explorers traveler to win an iPod Touch! Students can enter the contest at: www.globalexplorers.org/nightskies.
The objective of the Night Skies campaign is to encourage student travelers to think about the night sky from an introspective point of view. Global Explorers is hoping to gauge the relevance of the night sky to students and raise awareness of the importance of protecting the night sky as a resource through this campaign. Students can submit a photo, essay, poem, video, or artwork in response to our prompt, which is “What do you think about when you look into the night sky?” Winners will be chosen based on creativity, impact, presentation, and extent to which the work captures one of the following themes: introspection, vastness, nature, preservation, or history. Public votes will count for 20% of the final judging score and public voting will be open from January 24 until January 31, 2012.
The contest ends on January 23, 2012 so hurry and enter your submission today!!
